Tariq

Tariq is a Juno nominated singer/songwriter and recording artist and also a member of the critically acclaimed Vancouver band, Brasstronaut. The songs on Tariq’s latest solo offering feel a bit like short stories, hence the title, Telegrams (2019)—brief glimpses into fictional lives. Tariq is also a writer whose essays on song craft have appeared in the Walrus Magazine.

“Tariq’s songs are like self-contained short stories, full of vivid imagery and lush arrangements that push baroque folk into the future.”
—Alex Hudson, Exclaim! Magazine

“Tariq has a way with narrative lyrics and tasty instrumentation.” —Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Sun
